Maintenance
O-ring Check
The FIX NEO DX LIGHT SYSTEM is sealed using a double O-ring seal design. The two O-rings
are user serviceable for maintenance and replacement.
CAUTION

Be aware of the following points regarding handling O-ring.
- Use the included O-ring remover when removing the O-ring of the body case and never use
sharp metal tools such as the edge of scissors, nail or knife.
- Be careful not to lose the removed O-ring.
- Lightly coat it with a thin film of the included O-ring grease to prevent friction or deterioration of
the O-ring. Make sure that there is no sand, small lint or hair. If there is any sand or lint on it,
wash off first then grease it. Be careful not to put too much O-ring grease as it may attract
more lint or dust and cause water intrusion.
- Never use and immediately exchange with a spare O-ring if there are any small cuts or cracks
on the O-ring surface.
- Make sure that there is no sand, small lint or hair on the O-ring groove and the waterproof
side that the O-ring contacts. It can be wiped clean with a cotton tipped swab etc. Also make
sure that there are no scratches or cracks.
- Once above points have been checked, install the O-ring back on the groove. Make sure
O-ring is uniform with no twists or bulges.
- Always perform checks of O-ring or O-ring groove and O-ring grease-up every time you
open/close the body.

Pre-diving Check
A leakage check is recommended before using the product with a battery installed.
Before use, submerge the product by horizontally lowering in a tub or bowl filled with water.
Take the light out of the water at 3 second, 30 second and 3 minute intervals, opening the body
case to make sure that there is no sign of water intrusion inside the body.

- 29 -

After Use Care and Storage
1. Submerge the light body into fresh water for about 10-20 minutes before opening the light head
after use. Also press the Power Button/Light Output Adjustment Button and Light Output
Adjustment Button in fresh water several times and wash off the salt deposits around buttons.
NOTE

CAUTION

Using salt damage inhibitor SALT-AWAY included in the FIX maintenance kit, sold
separately, is even more effective.
After use in salt water, if salt deposits are allowed to remain and dry in small gaps, salt
crystals will form and will not subsequently dissolve. Make sure to submerge in fresh water
to wash off the salt deposits as these salt crystals may occasionally push up the O-ring and
cause water intrusion.

2.After removing from fresh water, rinse with slow flowing running water. Never use high pressure
water from one direction as it may cause water intrusion.
3.After rinsing, wipe off remaining water with a soft dry cloth. Do not dry in direct sunlight or dry
with a dryer or stove as it may cause failure, deformation or damage.
4.After use, lightly coat the O-ring with silicon grease and store. Replacing with a new O-ring once
a year is recommended.
5. For long time storage, avoid areas of extreme high temperature and humidity, direct sunlight or
extreme cold temperature.
6. Never use any organic solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinner or neutral detergents as it
may cause deformation or damage.

What to do In case of internal water contact
The circuit board location of this product is waterproof to minimize the damage even in case of
water intrusion occurring inside the light body. The battery is also â&#x20AC;&#x153;drip-proofâ&#x20AC;?. In case of water
intrusion, however, immediately stop using this product and remove any residual water inside of
the light and the battery. Do not put the battery back in the light body and store it separately. If
there is some water remaining inside, it may cause electric shock or damage to the circuit board
therefore never use it after water intrusion and contact Fisheye or your local retailer for service.

Recommended Service
Regular overhaul is recommended once every 1-2 years, regardless of the frequency of use of
this product. Waterproof O-rings that cannot be exchanged by customers are used inside of the
product. Please ask Fisheye Customer Service for overhaul after a certain period of time to
exchange and maintain these to prevent accidents and extend the life of the product.
